WHAT IS BIRMINGHAM PARENT CARER FORUM?
We are a voluntary group of Birmingham Parent Carers whose purpose is to become the bridge between services and families and a collective voice representing all members and all disabilities.
We aim to build strong and sustainable links between our Local authority, Joint Clinical Commissioning Group and The Children’s Trust.

Are We Part of the Local Authority?
Although we work closely with local services to ensure that they are informed of parents' and carers' opinions, we are completely independent of them. Our parent carer representatives sit on the SEND Improvement Board to represent parent carers’ views and assist in the development of education, social care and health services.
